opencode-caffeinate

Prevent macOS from sleeping while OpenCode sessions are active.

What it does

This plugin automatically runs caffeinate -dim when an OpenCode session starts, keeping your Mac awake during long AI coding sessions. When all sessions end, caffeinate is stopped to restore normal power management.

Flags used:

• -d: Prevent display sleep
• -i: Prevent idle sleep
• -m: Prevent disk sleep

Installation

From npm (recommended)

Add to your opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["opencode-caffeinate"]
}

From local files

Clone this repo to your plugins directory:

# Global plugins
git clone https://github.com/nguyenphutrong/opencode-caffeinate.git ~/.config/opencode/plugins/opencode-caffeinate

# Or project-level
git clone https://github.com/nguyenphutrong/opencode-caffeinate.git .opencode/plugins/opencode-caffeinate

Requirements

• macOS only - The caffeinate command is macOS-specific
• Bun >= 1.0.0
• OpenCode with plugin support

How it works

1. When a session is created (session.created event), the plugin registers the session in /tmp/opencode-caffeinate/sessions/
2. A single caffeinate process is spawned if not already running (tracked via PID file at /tmp/opencode-caffeinate/caffeinate.pid)
3. Multiple parallel OpenCode instances are supported - sessions are tracked across processes
4. When a session ends (session.idle or session.deleted events), the session is unregistered
5. When all sessions across all instances end, caffeinate is stopped automatically

Cross-process synchronization: The plugin uses file-based session tracking to correctly handle multiple OpenCode instances running in parallel. Each session creates a PID file, and stale sessions (crashed processes) are automatically detected and ignored.
